This congress proceedings provides recent research on leading-edge manufacturing processes. The aim of this scientific congress is to work out diverse individual solutions of production in the border area and transferable methodological approaches. In addition, guest speakers with different backgrounds will give the congress participants food for thoughts, interpretations, views and suggestions.
The manufacturing industry is currently undergoing a profound structural change, which on the one hand produces innovative solutions through the use of high-performance communication and information technology, and on the other hand is driven by new requirements for goods, especially in the mobility and energy sector. With the social discourse on how we should live and act primarily according to guidelines of sustainability, structural change is gaining increasing dynamic.
It is essential to translate politically specified sustainability goals into socially accepted and marketable technical solutions. Production research is meeting this challenge and will make important contributions and provide innovative solutions from different perspectives.
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Bernd-Arno Behrens studied mechanical engineering at the University of Hannover and received his doctorate in 1997 in the field of solid forming. Subsequently, he took over a leading position in industry. Since October 2003 he heads the Institute for Forming Technology and Forming Machinery. In addition, he is spokesman of the board of the Material Testing Institute for Materials and Production Technology (MPA) in Hannover since 2004. In 2005 he also assumed the function of managing partner of IPH - Institut f?r Integrierte Produktion + Hannover gemeinn?tzige GmbH. He is, among others, speaker of the Collaborative Research Center 1153 Tailló{
